She's at it again.

Water is the driving

force of all nature.

- Leonardo da Vinci

I've decided that I might have to hide my hands off myself......I'm still knitting. I suppose I could have a worse habit, but I am supposed to be doing other things. I have been mindful of my obsession with knitting, and kept a nice flow of stitching happening.

This is such a cute design and I love the way the wording has been written.

I am right into the redwork, it is so appealing. This block is still on the go and it is almost finished. I have 3 more to go.

Now back to my obsessive habit of knitting, I found a stack of feather type of wool stashed away in a bag. I thought I might get in early for winter and knit myself a lovely scarf.

I didn't have enough of the flutter or flurry wool so I decided to make stripes in the scarf. I have used a strand of the thorobred throughout and a strand of the other wool, alternating the colours into stripes. It is coming up very nice.

The colours have come up a bit bright, as usual with my photography, but the colours look nice together. I will probably have a bit left over to make a cute little beanie....not for me.

Pixie and Brandon have gone out shooting for a while, so that leaves me in peace and quiet...almost with Cory, to make tea, finish the washing and a few other bits, before bathtime. Pixie and Cory had a great weekend of go karting, and have come home a lovely shade of red from the wind.

I'm off to the kitchen now, the long way around so I don't go anywhere near the lounge room....and my knitting bag. Have a great night all. Kind regards, Anita.
